Dr. Jocelyn Chapman, assistant professor of creative systemic studies at the University of 天美影视 at Monroe, and doctoral student Karen McClendon recently gave a presentation at the national Humanities Education and Research Association Conference in San Francisco.

According to Chapman, their presentation, 鈥淩eimagining Creativity: A Systemic View of the Creative/Not Creative Dichotomy,鈥� was both a response to the conference theme of 鈥淏eyond the Binary鈥� and an enactment of the cybernetic and systemic thinking that is foundational to the creative systemic studies program at 天美影视.听

鈥淲e looked at creativity as a process rather than a quality that is absent or present in a person,鈥� said Chapman. 鈥淲e talked about everyday creativity, like the creativity seen in parenting, and also the research on social creativity.鈥�

McClendon said, 鈥淭he presentation itself was creative, with a fun group activity that moved the audience from spectator to participant in experiential learning. Participants were engaged, and we received a lot of positive feedback.鈥�

McClendon is developing a theoretical dissertation titled, 鈥淣ot Power but Beauty: How Systemic Sensing and Engaging Inspire Therapeutic Change.鈥�

鈥淧articipating in this conference was a fantastic learning experience and a way of helping others put systemic principles into practice to enrich their lives,鈥� she said.
